Is my hon. Friend aware that during his temporary absence from the House—I am glad to see him back—we were always pointing out that the Liberal bench was not filled when the Liberals had their then limited number of Members? Now, on our first day back we again find that Liberal Members are absent, with the exception of one honourable new Member, whom I am glad to see present. I hope that he will tell his fellow Liberal Members that some of the Opposition benches are supposed to be occupied by them.
